How to decorate a small living room

Small living room

If we have a small room in our home, we will always have to make good use of each available space. Decorating small spaces also has its tricks to make them appear much more spacious and comfortable. We are going to see how to decorate a small room, since taking advantage of this area is very important.

Un small room needs to take advantage of every corner, since it is a place where people gather and in which we also find a lot of furniture, even some storage. That is why it is important to be able to gracefully decorate a small room.

Use a lot of white color

White living room

El white color is in fashion, but it is also a tone that is very versatile for us, since it can be combined with everything and provides a lot of luminosity. It is the ideal tone for small spaces, using it as a base for the entire environment, as it helps us create a pleasant feeling of spaciousness. The white color on the floors, on the walls and on the furniture can help us create an open and more spacious environment than it really is.

Less is more

Living room with furniture

By this we mean that in confined spaces it is always better to avoid saturating the space. The best idea is avoid buying too much furniture that fills the space. In the living room we should only add those that are necessary, such as a small television cabinet, a cozy sofa and a coffee table or even a small chest of drawers for storage. In some rooms there is also space to put a dining table with some chairs, although as we say we must carefully measure the use of space to avoid saturation.

Add some mirrors

This is a very good trick for any place where we have a small space. Mirrors help us create the feeling that space is much wider because they reflect light and they also give the reflection of the space, so it seems bigger. You can put a large mirror in a corner or different small mirrors on the walls, since they are also very decorative.

Small details on the walls

White walls

The walls are also an important point in the decoration of small spaces, since the living room can be narrow. Walls can create an illusion of spaciousness but also make the space appear much smaller. Painting them in white or light tones is essential if there are few square meters, as light tones widen the spaces. Avoid adding large paintings or even a wallpaper that has too many patterns, because all these details can fill the room and make everything visually appear smaller. Is better just add some details such as paintings or small mirrors. The sheets in light tones can also be a good idea in this case, because they will give some color to the whole room.

A multipurpose television cabinet

We like TV furniture that is multipurpose. Although if we have a small living room we should look for one that has simple lines such as minimalist furniture. It is always better if it is a low and small piece of furniture too, in white tones. In it we can have some storage to keep things. If it lacks handles it is even better, since minimalist furniture always gives a more spacious feeling.

Look for a sofa with modules

Another idea that we like a lot is that of add sofas with modules. It is a very versatile idea because we can always remove one or add it according to needs. This way we will not occupy more space than necessary. And if you don't like the idea you can buy a small sofa. Chaise longues are a good choice but sometimes, if the living room is narrow, they can be impractical.

Textiles in light tones

Living room textiles

Textiles are the ones that can add a bit of color to our small living room, so we must focus on choosing them well. But of course it is a detail that should not detract from the light. Choose some curtains that let in light for clarity and also use cushions with light tones, with a pattern that brightens the room. You can even dare with a brushstroke in an intense color. Carpets are also better light, as they increase the feeling that the floor is wider.

Dining table

Living room with dining room

Some rooms, even if they are small, also have to house the dining area. We really like the idea of ​​adding a small round table, as it tends to adapt better to the space if you put four chairs on it. But there are also other ideas that can be useful such as adding an extendable table, putting benches to give greater capacity or use folding furniture that can be removed if not needed. The dining room can also be added because today there are many valid options to save space.
